It's peak cherry harvest time in CAs central valley. This worker earns $6.50 per 23lb bucket of cherries. On a good day she can pick 20-24 buckets in 7 hrs-if she works as fast as she can. Peak season doesn't last long so she rushes to earn every penny. Her family relies on her. #WeFeedYou

Anyone know what Boston/MA law is around using a flagpole to carry a flag at a protest? Proving difficult to find clear info.

I love this ancient camel GIF more the more I look at it

you can touch grass at a protest

Very telling that we hear people attack "the left" and "the groups" for losing the 2024 election, but not the contortion of Twitter into a Machine for Fascism. That's because they hate the left but love the Machine for Fascism.

I’m at a No Kings protest overseas and it’s extremely low energy and none of these people know how to use a microphone

we are heading out soon for the No Kings/Pride event in Boston, come join in if you can

If you are attending a protest today, stay safe and know your rights ⬇️

Supporting the troops in practice looks like not sending them off to war and ensuring veterans are taken care of. Today’s parade is a waste of taxpayer money.

ok reposting this mainly to bookmark for myself

Fucking hell: “Minnesota state senator John Hoffman in Champlin and Minnesota state representative Melissa Hortman in Brooklyn Park were reportedly shot in their homes by a gunman impersonating a police officer.”

well. I actually do have a bat guitar, so the future delivered for a change.

No More Kings By Schoolhouse Rock #NoKings

WAKE UP HUMAN IT IS TIME TO GO PROTEST

figured out why i twitched at R.E.M. saying the Radio Free Europe dub mix had never been released, it has something to do with the vague "official or unofficial" status of lots of stuff they put out. anyway, it was on their original demo tape, which they themselves published at some point

The "roughly" in this headline and its position illustrate just why "roughly" should not be used as a replacement for "about." Did cops beat up 50 veterans in the process of arresting them, or did they arrest approximately 50 veterans?

ok leaving aside for a moment how weird it feels to have a parade in the evening, i didn’t realize half the day was devoted to the president’s own little buff boys competition on the national mall.

I’d really love a lawyer to weigh in on if this hollows his “invasion” or “emergency” bs in a way that Roberts and ACB might respond to?

For those like me who are unable to attend a #NoKings protest in person, here’s a virtual rally you can join organized through the COVID Long-Haulers Against Fascism: www.mobilize.us/nokings/even...

Good point here from Stanley: lack of GOP representation occurs in fields beyond humanities and social science. It's not about universities abandoning the GOP, but the GOP divorcing itself from science.

He does post about this occasionally, but with none of his fury at the withdrawal of Afghanistan or Joe Biden being 81.

Taking a flight today, and this @theonion.com article is as true as ever theonion.com/man-prowling...

On one hand they do this because they aren't a real car company and this is how they store cares. On the other hand, they're not selling shit. So ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This is Trump essentially declaring the emergency/invasion he's pretending is happening is absolute bullshit and even this GOP Supreme Court better recognize that.

You know what goes hand-in-hand with violent crackdowns? Gaslighting. They will beat you and tell you that you are crazy for saying that you just got beaten. Propaganda is not free speech; it's what authorities use to mask their violence. It is, in fact, part of the violence.

"So when I'm killing technology grants, am I killing the technology that will allow worldwide vaccination, that will allow the eradication of smallpox or the equivalent today?"

“Here I am 1,700 words into this post, and I haven’t even gotten to several other key discrepancies in the documents.”

If in NYC you can look up badge numbers at @50-a.org. White shirts do not have badge numbers, only name plates. Uniform collars have pins with pct or department (ex: “DB” = Detective Bureau; 8 = 8th Precinct). White shirt shields have title in the shield, hard to read from a distance.

People need to understand that when being detained, especially if it’s for the first time, it is a rush of chaos and confusion and fear. When you’re screaming “WHATS YOUR NAME?” they’re in panic mode & will say it, not pause & consider if they should or want to. Don’t defend bad tactics.

John Bolton must be loving this

Trump ordering soldiers to the streets of LA is all the impetus some mayors need to tell their police "Make sure if things get too boisterous that you crack some skulls, so Trump doesn't have an excuse to send in the Marines"

I’m not as entertained by the Red Sox v Yankees rivalry as I was 20 years ago BUT seeing the best hitter in the world against a top 5 (?) pitcher in the world going for a shutout in the 9th in a 1-0 game is why you buy a ticket. Cora pulls Crochet if it’s October, I think. So we settle for June.

How valuable is it to have a starting pitcher who does this in 2025? He’s so underpaid and underrated.

Glendale protest tonight! They're asking for folks to come by and make some noise, people will be out there all night! #NoSleepForIce

Trump demonizes ordinary immigrants as MS-13 gang members - in reality he is funding the guy who is protecting MS-13 leaders

Wegmans has started stocking frozen pão de queijo (Brazilian cheesey bread) (from Brazi Bites) and I swear to god I must be physically prevented from making and eating the entire bag at once

at that point, you're officially an employee in my opinion

it’s quite strange that wednesday ICE employees got an email saying it’s open season on warrantless arrests, as i reported (ostensibly to meet daily quotas) and then another email thursday saying heyyyy pump the breaks on arresting certain types of workers. somebody’s lying or incompetent or both.

So you're saying Biden and Harris actually did have control over Bibi? You realize that proves they were *willing* participants in the genocide committed on their watch, right?

Always remember SALUTE! “How do they know?” And “where did they hear it from?”

Israel locating military installations in civilian neighborhoods, using its citizens as human shields. Of course this is going to happen.

Hey for tomorrow's protests, make sure your vehicle registration is up to date and your tag is current. Double check your headlights and tail lights. Any protective gear or even your kids' sports equipment, put it in the trunk or cover it with a blanket (see "plain view" exception).

The media narrative that needs to be amplified is that the employers who are hiring undocumented workers are going to be the next victims of the unaccountable violence who have their lives destroyed. Start naming names about who these business owners are.

now ICE will have more time to terrorize elementary schools

We’ve heard reports of guidance for DHS to “pause” raids on agricultural worksites— and we’re skeptical. As long as Border Patrol and ICE are sweeping through farm worker communities making chaotic arrests like they did TODAY, they’re still hunting down farm workers.

for a second i thought this said curtis granderson and i was so moved

hell of a week to start watching andor

classic second screen guy

I have now seen Mountainhead and it's... very good satire. It's getting flooded with negative reviews by people who either don't know (or wish to deny) how dead-on the satire is.

andy ngo is so pants shittingly scared of the very idea that people would stand up for what’s right that fully three years after the 2020 uprising he was still giving powerpoint presentations about how scary we were

I feel like Breen *used* to know how to do this but no longer does.

statement from the WestLos Rapid Response Network re: rumors of nannies kidnapped at the park: Please rely on updates from community groups on the ground. Sometimes things spread like wildfire & it’s tough to control the misinfo Always remember to ask- where did they hear this? & how do they know?

glenn youngkin proactively activating the virginia national guard for a couple of low key liberal organized demos is such little bitch behavior. grow up, glenn. trump is too busy with his birthday parade to notice you.

what a cool technology!

The end of this game is like a pond. There are so many fowls.

Of course if Webb no-hits the Dodgers the home plate umpire being a mess who should go lie down and let someone else take over is moot, I guess!

*israel takes a quick break from genocide to attack iran, killing dozens of civilians* mark carney: iran’s missile attacks are a threat to peace 🫠

this is aesthetically a very weird close NBA Finals game late in the 4th

We have the technology. We don’t have to put up with home plate umpires being this bad and messing with what should have been a great game.

Oh did those industries buy his crypto?

California farmworkers concerned about ICE activity www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/c...

NEW: As a result of my story, a lawyer from the lawsuit—the settlement of which resulted in the now-rescinded ICE warrantless arrest accountability policy—has filed notice for judge to urgently “resolve the pending motions regarding enforcement and extension of the consent decree.”

anyone who works for ICE is a bad person imagine clocking in at the child traumatization factory every morning and thinking that’s an acceptable thing to do as a human being just unconscionable

wonder if one could construct a similar chart for news coverage, or social media posts

after several attempts i figured out how to get google to provide me the full lyrics to what it says is "Soldier" from the 1986 R.E.M. album Lifes Rich Pageant, and they are:

As an obsessive watcher of hearings: Republicans routinely talk to Democratic officials this way. Democrats never do the same to GOP officials, esp. once in office. They often condemn, but more in sorrow than in anger. Not here.

Those “I bought this BEFORE I knew Elon was crazy!” stickers don’t actually mention cars. You can put them on your furniture, appliances, pets, etc.

This Red Sox Yankees game is the best game of the year so far. I am so sorry Crochet going for the shutout, pumping 100 with 1 out in the ninth and a 1-0 lead. Gets Aaron Judge to fall behind with two strikes. Then Judge hits it to the moon to tie it. Good stuff.

nba players are by rule permitted to pick up their dribble and even run down the court while carrying the ball if they loudly sing a song in lieu of dribbling. that no one ever does speaks to how self-conscious even the most well-known and confident among us can be

WHAT is going on with this broadcast

I got to swap baby care tips with Trent Reznor (we both had just had our first kids) as we drank coffee at a Coffee Bean.

unfortunately I fear that “what online has done to people’s brains” will be dwarfed by “what gen AI specifically has done to people’s brains” and online sure has done a number on us

Americans will finally be told that fruits and vegetables are good and sodas are bad, why didn't anyone try this before

Googled a guy from a reality show I had a crush on in high school and

I was crossing the street in San Francisco and almost got hit by a car and the passenger rolled down the window and told me to go fuck myself and it was Bruce Vilanch.

i know that it portends many horrors but i am kind of excited about the military parade. i can't wait to see some dipshit news anchor get excited to see an icbm like it's the charlie brown float on thanksgiving

I accidentally stepped on the back of Sarah Jessica Parker's shoes in a crowd twice, and the second time she turned around and gave me a death stare and I was like HEY THAT'S-

Laura Loomer has 1.7 million followers. She’s telling people to arm themselves tomorrow because the protesters are “working with Islamic jihadists.” She and other right-wing pro-Zionist influencers are also claiming there are Iranian “sleeper cells” who are going to attack tomorrow.

Samwise will make an appearance in the next @cancelmedaddy.bsky.social YouTube episode

so we can confirm through the first five months of this year after making Route 1 free that it has not only significantly increased ridership but has also increased on-time performance. Anybody claiming it would go otherwise is wrong!

she also hit on my dad a bunch

and if you can't do street protest due to disability or other reasons there are lots of other ways to contribute!!! a bunch are in this nifty zine spencersunshine.com/wp-content/u...

i dont get involved in politics, im not interested in news, but ill gladly let an IDF guy glue my dick hole shut if it'll help him feel safe
